say hello to the new MacBook Pro there's a lot of things that have changed since the last generation the biggest one obviously is the addition of an OLED strip dubbed the touch bar this is going to change interact based on what app you are using if you're placing the function keys that have been on Apple laptop since well the beginning of Apple laptops the function keys are still there that is not always present if you want to access them hit a button on the touch bar and they will pop up a few things know about the touch bar though there's no haptic feedback in there and I can get any sort of sound when you touch it so like all MacBook Pros before it these do not come cheap we've got the entry-level 15-inch model here also available in 13-inch with the touch bar and the lesser one in the 13-inch size without the touch bar the 15-inch is going to start at 20 399 which again what we have then get you a 2.6 gigahertz quad-core i7 can go as high as a 2.9 gigahertz quad-core i7 this is a 6 gen chip so skylake no Cabul 8 here Ram is going to be set at 16 gigs and we've got the Radeon Pro 450 with 2 gigs of memory we can up that to the 460 with 4 gigs of ram so depending on which size MacBook Pro you get the speedy RAM is going to change the 15 we have here is 21 33 megahertz in its ddr3 the SSD speed should be pretty fast to go all the way up to 2 terabytes and it's pcie-based I've got a new color here as well we don't have it but there is a new color we've got silver but Space Gray is also available before you do any unboxing the first thing you're going to need is an unnecessary knife and a slight fear you might chop off your finger once you get over that you take off the plastic remove the top and there is your brand new MacBook Pro push it off to the side for a quick sec you'll see what else is underneath you're going to be greeted by a booklet which is going to have some instructions and also two white Apple stickers so sitting right below that is Apple's new power brick it's 87 watts you don't have any sort of cabling attached to it anymore you just have a port for the USBC cable which is included as well but not includes any sort of extension but nice thing Apple did continue to include you can go ahead and pull off the prongs you can add an extension cable there or if you're traveling abroad you can another tip opening up your MacBook Pro notice that it's going to boot up that's a new thing here with generation of MacBook Pros you're also not going to have the familiar ding that we used to have also not here is the glowing Apple logo found on the back so if you want the glowy logo you need the last gen taking the MacBook Pro out of the box you notice it's still a pretty big laptop 15-inch is not for the small laptop fans but it is much lighter it's a half pound lighter than the last gen as your computer boots up you're good notice it's going to ask you to set up touch ID which is sitting to the right of the touch bar it's a 2nd gen sensor so it's pretty fast and it's covered in sapphire glass that should be pretty durable as well it's also a physical button you can actually push it and you can do everything you can do a touch ID on your iPhone you can unlock your computer and you can also use Apple pay an icing here with touch ID if you share your computer with someone when they put their finger on that sensor it'll log them into their profile so Apple talked a lot about the display on the new MacBook Pros resolution is the same same 15 4 inch diagonal LED backlit display IPS technology the resolution is 28 80 by 1800 with 220 pixels per inch with support for millions of colors but the big story here is the brightness in 67 percent brighter it's 500 nits and now supports a cinema p3 standard so you can get a wider color gamut well test that down we do our full review there's better anti-reflective coating on here as well which is immediately noticeable so if use your computer outside for example you're going to really appreciate that in a lot of ways new MacBook Pro looks like a grown up blown-up MacBook and that's true with the keyboard as well using the second gen butterfly keys that we seen in the MacBook and the keys for the most part feel very similar to that but there's a little more key throw a lot of people seem oddly up in arms the keyboard is loud didn't seem any louder to me than any other laptop keyboard that I've used the backlights important to you each key now has its own individual LEDs so you won't get any of that bleed we used to have a blast chance and after you get over the fact your computers got an OLE edge strip you're going to notice that just ginormous force touch trackpad and one of the concerns I had with that was how is gonna handle palm rejection because there's no way to use that keyboard with those new butterfly switches without resting your palms on the keyboard and initial tests it work but again we do a full review we'll put those two paces a little bit more so keeping with the theme of kind of looking like a Big Mac beau he got the same integrated hinge there's no more plastic on the back like you saw on the last gen MacBook Pros and the vents are now hidden inside of the hinge and on the 15-inch there also on the sides so let's talk about ports for lack of ports that are found on the new MacBook Pros a 15 inch is going to have four USB see type-c ports that are also Thunderbolt three so Thunderball is going to give you support up to 40 gigabits per second it's got USB 3.1 gen2 which give you speeds up to 10 gigabits per second until USB C becomes ubiquitous you're going to need a lot of dongles but you can do a lot with those ports if you have the adapters for them so USB C you can support native DisplayPort Thunderbolt 3 you can do VGA HDMI and Thunderbolt 2 output you can do a lot of stuff with those ports you can power multiple 5k displays they can do quite a bit but again dongles on dongles on dongles the battery's been shrunk down the MacBook Pro is well but apples claim you get 10 hours of wireless web but I am definitely going to test that much like the MacBook we no longer have MagSafe to charge this laptop up if you miss it again you're going to look for last gen I'm not gonna mind MagSafe being gone always seems a little flimsy and popped out too quickly for me but I'm gonna miss having that LED indicator let me know which charging but I guess when you plug in you still get to the audio tones let you know something's happening that's our first impressions of the new MacBook Pro I'm excited to test it to use it zero performs anything particular you guys want to test let me know the comments I'll be reading through those to see what we want to focus on give the video a thumbs up we appreciate it until next time I'm John Ranger and TechnoBuffalo
